The Ontological Argument - valid or debunked?

RE: The Ontological Argument - valid or debunked?
Wooters Wrote:As I understand it, the Maximally Great Being (MGB) doesn’t have anything to do with subjective criteria or value judgments about what constitutes the best possible thing anyone can imagine. Rather, the MGB means something more akin to the fullest possible expression of what it means to exist.

Contradiction.

Quote:For example, a warning traffic sign is an objectively better example of a triangle than a spanakopita.

That is subjective.

Quote:Thus when maximally great is attributed to God it is meant in the sense that He exemplifies the fullness of everything it means to be, i.e. complete, self-sustaining, necessary, fully in act, etc.

Meaning?

You're the master of obfuscation aren't you Chad?
